Hello @lorsange.domino Could you please try uninstalling the Houdini Connector 102.3.0 through the Launcher (Settings → Uninstall), and reinstall the version again? **Make sure all Houdini sessions are closed while uninstalling and reinstalling.** ![Screenshot 2023-02-22 215557](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/8/b/8b3d81b590aa216fb59e07fbbc715e9cbfc37820.png) If not still working, please try delete this folder - `C:/Users/***/AppData/Local/ov/pkg/houdini-connector-102.3.0` and reinstall Houdini Connector from Launcher again. My guess is - there might be a permission error while Launcher trying to install the new version Houdini Connector. Please let me know if the solutions work for you, and thank you for reporting this issue! Wayne ---

Hello @maxmax003 , Does your issue start at102.3.0 or even earlier versions - in your screenshot, it is 102.1.0 What is your OS - Windows 10, Windows 11 ---

To be honest I just updated all my 3d apps since I’ve not being doing much the pass 4monts, so I just update houdini to 19.5.534, the connector I have is 102.1.0 but also tried the beta 102.3.0 ---

19.5.493 works fine. Between 19.5.493 and 19.5.534, there are lots of compatibility change. ---

Good found @lorsange.domino This might not be related directly, but it gives us a clue. I am wondering if one of the `$HOUDINI_PATH` contains corrupted or conflicted plugin files. If you are interested in dig into this more, you can try - In Houdini’s Python interpreter (alt + shift + p) type following ```auto import os print(os.environ.get("HOUDINI_PATH")) ``` if you exam all directories it outputs, and if there is more than one directory contain `packages/omniverse_h19x.json` or contain `dso/fs/FS_Omni.dll` but not `dso/OP_Omni.dll` - that might be an issue. That also could be where the warning `opalias: The alias 'labs::retime'.....` coming from. ---

Hello @jiejiaio I tested 19.5.534 today and it worked fine for me. I am wondering if there is something else. For the next Houdini Connector release, we can try to build against Houdini 19.5.534. Thank you again for providing the information and what you found! Wayne ---

Hello @lorsange.domino Sorry for the delay - we finally identified where the issue is and working with SideFx to get this solved. The fix will be included in the next Houdini Connector release. The only affected functionality is the [experimental Live Sync node](https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/con_connect/con_connect/houdini/release-notes/101_0_0.html) . In the meantime, if you are not using the node, it is safe to delete this file `C:/Users/***/AppData/Local/ov/pkg/houdini-connector-102.3.0/houdini19.5/houdini/dso/OP_Omni.dll` to suppress the warning. Thank you again for reporting this issue - it really helps us improve our product! Also thanks to @jiejiaio , your comment helped us identified the problem. Wayne ---
